Now, with this update, you can unlock the VIP service of the simple video downloader with a key. The key allows the chrome extension (video parser) to call the video parser API in the server which provides a much up-to-date feature.
Simple Video Downloader is my first Chrome Extension and what it does is to parse the HTML source code of the video sites for the video and images URLs.
Technology
Javascript that runs in the Chrome Browser (ES6)
Chrome Webstore

VideoDownloader New Feature
This commit allows to configure the server api key (VIP) so that when local parser fails, request will be made to the Video API Server.
VIP Key for Utopian Users
For testing purpose, API Key: utopian is given out exclusively to utopian users. For more server API usage, please visit here.
No Youtube
Google does not allow any behavior that supports or encourages downloading youtube videos and therefore this plugin does not support youtube anymore.
Firefox or Opera
For Opera browsers, the workaround is to first install Chrome Extension Gadget. And similarly for Firefox, you can install Chrome Store Foxified before you install VideoDownloadHelper.
